The News That Matters about the Nuclear Industry Fukushima Chernobyl Mayak Three Mile Island Atomic Testing Radiation Isotope

13 wards in Cumbria recommended against their will, for UK’s nuclear waste dump

This week our readers got talking about Allerdale potentially being the
host to an underground disposal of nuclear waste.

Having a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) that would store higher level radioactive waste
underground is hailed to be the safest and most secure method of disposal.
The Allerdale GDF Working Group recommended a Search Area for consideration
in 2021 comprised of 13 electoral wards: Aspatria; Broughton St Bridgets;
Dalton; Ellen & Gilcrux; Flimby; Harrington & Salterbeck; Maryport North;
Maryport South; Moorclose & Moss Bay; Seaton & Northside; St John’s; St
Michael’s and Stainburn & Clifton.

Cumbrian Lad added: “It is a very
strange process which allows one individual, Andy Ross of GenR8 North, to
volunteer the part of Allerdale in which he doesn’t live to be the burial
site for the UK’s nuclear waste. The 13 wards who have been volunteered
against their will, have no say in the matter until 15-20 years of
investigations have taken place.”
